Subject: RE: Origins: The two Kemp's Jigs
Here's the version of Kemp's Jig from the Matthew Holmes book (melody line only):

X:1
T:Kemp's Jig
C:Matthew Holmes Lute Book
L:1/4
M:4/4
K:F
a3/2 b/ a g | f3/2 g/ f e | d c d e | f c F2 |

And here transposed to (the perhaps more familiar) D:

The tune as presented there had a slightly odd structure, with only 7 bars in the B section and 9 in the C section. In the classical guitar transcription I have this has been regularised by an insert after bar 13 in B and deletion of bar 19, giving the version below (which I present in D; this is the usual minor 3rd transposition of lute tablature to the guitar):
